I laughed every time I drank a serum :)
The music is dank and the sound effects chunky; the game-play is fine but you tend to stick on walls a little. The bear and the Cactus are my favourite

I absolutely loved the step sounds. Especially the bear's. That was a lovely detail.

Pretty accurate science right there. Getting stuck on wall sucks though.

Characters are really funny designed!

Very funny! The choices of transformations are very hilarious, primarily because of how unrelated they are. The hair dryer is the best. Just got stuck on walls often, but other than that, really solid game.

This was a fun, tight little game. The walls were sticky, and the text was hard to read against your floor tiles. Otherwise, nicely done.

Fun, but a little difficult (for me at least...). I love the character art, and the idea of changing into a hair dryer is hilarious. Audio is good. Sticky walls should probably be fixed

Fun little game :)
Walls were annoying but that's what you get with 24 hours :P

Fun and a bit funny. did stick to the walls sometimes but other than that the movement was smooth. I likes the bear and his anims.

Nice game! Great graphics and audio! Though the collision was a bit weird, specially the walls (that you already addressed), and the camera movement when going downwards...

Anyway great entry!

Awesome and fun game, couldn't stop laughing once I found out about the shapeshifting! Music and sounds fits the game perfectly. Only problem I had is that it doesn't shoot when standing against a wall.

I had a lot of fun! The player does tend to stick to walls quite a bit. Since it looks like you used Unity, you could solve that problem rather easily by simply attaching a Physics2D material to the colliders on your player gameobjects (my game had the same problem). Also, it looked like the bullets you shoot in cactus form might be backwards. Very fun though!
(also if this double posts I apologize, I was apparently logged out the first time I tried...)

Cool game. I wish there were more variety in what

I like the look of the characters but it looks like you didn't spend much time on any of the other graphics.

I loved the various things you could transform into (especially a hairdryer of all things) although I kinda wished they each had more unique traits other than just their firing patterns. Also the UI help text in the tutorial is pretty much unreadable but other than that it's quite a fun game.
